Hi I like MPL very much since I'm used to MATLAB and it's fantastic plotting features but I have 3 little issues (most likely newbie stuff :) to solve. 1.) To change the backend interactively the MPL homepage suggests something like import matplotlib from pylab import * matplotlib.use(<backend-name-string>) plot(...); show() But I found that whatever backend I tell MPL to use, it always uses the one defined in my .matplotlibrc. 2.) When I start my Python shell (IPython, WinXP) and use MPL the 1st time in the session from pylab import * plot(...); show() the plot window appears but I'm not able to type anything in the shell. I close the plot window and plot(...); show() again. From now on I'm able to type in the shell. What's up? 3.) I tried to plot a data set with 1024 points (shape(x) = shape(y) = (1024,)). plot(x,y) which takes about 4 seconds to build up the plot (at least with the TkAgg backend). This is far to slow for me. What can I do? Cheers, Steve -- Man is the best computer we can put aboard a spacecraft ... and the only one that can be mass produced with unskilled labor. - Wernher von Braun |
